AAahhhh! As you may know, I have been a stay at home mom (with some work at home when my two jobs need me) for 7 1/2 years now and as IM will be starting full time school next year I will be able to look for a full time job. However, this hinges on […]
Yesterday when I was waiting to pick up my kids from school, OR’s teacher asked if I was knitting - now I have the self imposed pressure to make scarves for those three too, by June 15th! At least I pretty much have one done - Ella:
it looks kind of like a mauve, lacy […]
I meant to post yesterday, and the day before, etc., but it’s been too crazy to get pictures and get them posted, so I’m just going to write for now, and add the photos later.
This weekend has been a collection of crime show marathons (mostly Law and Order: Criminal Intent, but some Monk), and shawl/scarf […]
I’m currently addicted to triangle-shaped shawls. First I found this site that has recently had a contest to collect triangular shawl patterns. Now I’ve found so many that I want to make/buy the pattern of:
Caryl’s Kerchief
Landscape Shawl
Musings on the Poncho
Aunt Phebe’s Comfort Shawl
Victorian Shoulderette Shawl
Luna Moth Shawl (if only it weren’t […]
I don’t drink beer, but if I did, I would totally buy this:
I just may have to create a similar (or commission her to do so) soda cozy!
I was going to a birthday party this afternoon and I knew I couldn’t take Ella along with me, so I decided to cast on for yet another wrap. I think I’ve decided to make wraps (assuming I have time) for each of my kids’ teachers, which means a minimum of 3 and a […]
I’ve done so well not buying yarn for, I don’t know, a month (? - I did buy myself one skein of Pastaza while I was buying yarn for my SP10 - does that count? If not, it’s been longer since I’ve bought myself yarn), but I am very tempted by this Scout yarn.
I’m not […]
So apparently CBS is going to cancel The Class. I have just emailed them about how upset I am to see it go (frankly, it is the only show I watch on CBS) and I don’t expect any response, but I had to do it. It was a really good show that didn’t get the […]
Since I haven’t been working lately (it definitely all comes at the same time and then nothing) I am too lazy to set up my laptop so I can download from my digital camera, so hence no pictures of the many swap packages I’ve received and the knitting I’m still working furiously on.
I am timing […]
I am feeling overrun by WIPs. During WIP it Out I even frogged my oldest WIP and sent the remains to Susan, but since that time my group of projects has become huge. I blame, yet can’t entirely blame, the Sweater A Month KAL. I have been interested in sweaters this year, […]
